The Nappy Bank has already helped numerous families. Within 24 hours of the nappy bank going live it had three orders.

Ms Lek said: ‘’We had a single mum who had several children and if we hadn’t of dropped off the nappies and baby wipes, she would have been forced to make a choice between paying for food and paying for nappies.

‘’We are in a time where money is tight and it is having an impact on families’ wages and the rising cost of living.’’

With Christmas approaching Natalie understands the demand she will face as families struggle to pay for presents and food for their children.

She said: ‘’Families struggle to finance Christmas presents and parents start to feel the pressures of wanting to provide their children with the best gift they can. So, we will have a bigger demand for the nappy bank.’’

‘’We would really appreciate help with donations such as, nappies, baby wipes, baby food and toiletries. Even the little things such as, talcum powder and baby bath can go a long way.
